[Reactor]

Nuclear Plant that was cancelled in around early 80’s.

 

[Stubby1743]

Walther "Hammerless Army Pistol". Pre WW2 and not produced in large numbers. The factory was soon fully occupied making P.38 pistols.

 

[WisJim]

After seeing @Reactor's post of the nuclear plant, I thought I'd post a picture from a 1929 book I recently found, of supposedly the largest powerplant of the time, on Lake Michigan at Hammond, IN, to supply power to the Chicago area.

I scored this a couple months ago. Been trying to get from a friend for a Very Long Time.
I have a 1963 VW Type-3 Notchback. In it original frame it shows a very early production cut-away T3 Notch

 

[vwpieces]

Couple more VW related and just happen to acquired recently. Meaning I can find pics...

This one is in a folded 1975 Scirocco Brochure.


Oddly this Turbo Diesel 1.6L engine is in the center of an 83-84 Rabbit GTI Brochure. All the GTI badging around the TD engine puzzles me. But I had to have it...
I have that engine in my DD 81 Rabbit and all correct for the MK1 series body.

[Tostal]

Cutaway drawings of the BMW V-12, 5.0 Litre, M70 engine as first seen in the BMW 750iL in 1987. The size and torque figure for every fastener is shown in these drawings. (apologies for reflection in pics, they're wall-hung and in plastic picture frames).

Just found this thread, very cool. My ‘81 Rabbit (my first VW, and very very rusty) has the NA version of that engine. Pretty neat, thanks for posting that!

Got the TD in my 81 rabbit.

But I wasn't done Citroen 2CV

 

[Copymutt]

122 mph was pretty respectful off the factory floor in 1950. It's what owners did with them when they got them home that made them really fast.

Case in point is legendary Burt Munro who in the 1960's created a land speed record of 178.95 mph on his 1920 Indian Scout (he was 68 years old). For those who haven't seen the movie about him "The World's Fastest Indian" it's one of the best movies you'll ever see, well worth the watch.

Sad to see this bygone era go when an individual could buy a bike, totally disassemble it into each tiny piece and refit it together again like a child's mechno set and race it. Todays super bikes are so sophisticated you'd need thousands hundereds of thousands of dollars to do this 50, 60 or 70 years after their production date if even possible.

Here's an exploded diag. of a 1975 850 Norton mc motor. You needed deep pockets
or mechanical abilities to keep one of these machines running. With diags. like these you quickly learned to keep the wheels going round.

So, a twin that had both pistons in sync? Don’t remember that.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Napier Deltic engine, a British opposed-piston valveless, supercharged, uniflow scavenged, two-stroke diesel engine used in marine and locomotive applications.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

The "Commer Knocker". Commer TS3 engine. Supercharged 3 cylinder, 6 opposed piston horizontal 2 stroke diesel.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Bedford MK/MJ (British army 4 tonner from 1967-1992).

I just found this thread and it is awesome! I too love cutaway drawings and can stare at them for hours and consider them works of art.

My father-in-law made his living for over 60 years as a technical artist illustrating everything from nuclear power plants to button hole bar tacking machines. If you have a Westerbeke marine generator service manual you have seen his work. He explained the process to me once. The artists would have one day to view the machinery, ask questions of the manufacturer, and sketch the item in pencil to the highest level of detail. They would then return to the office and finish the final pen and ink drawing for incorporation into the service manuals. Obviously, all by hand.

A few years back we found a bunch of his original drawings that he had stacked under a bed. With his permission, we framed and distributed his originals to the family to keep as heirlooms and I am attaching pics of a few that we have hanging on our walls. Apologies for the glare- they are all under UV-protecting glass.

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting these, lovely that you have those drawings on the wall to enjoy. Also, i recently bought a box of unidentified sewing parts and now know that they are for button-holes!

 

[fozzy]

I have more than one button that would have benefitted from a real machine fix vice my awful sewing attempts.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

This schematic was inside a wartime B&D catalog I found several years ago. I like how the part numbers and names are handwritten.

 

[rsanter]

I always loved the cut always as well, but I was also the kid that always took my toys apart to see how they worked.
I guess that’s what led me to be an engineer

[NWOhioChevyGuy]

I wanted to add an exploded view from one of my employers pumps for your enjoyment.
It's much easier these days with 3D modeling software, simply a button push.

Back when I did it you had to draw everything in the view needed, HUGE PITA.

I've never seen one of these, but I met a Land Rover R + D chap who had driven one.. He said: "People laughed, but actually they perform incredibly well off road".
